Similar letters denote the same parts. Lamps have heretofore been madewith a draught'- plate, sustained in the chimney, and with a foramin ousair-distribnter, extending below said draught-plate; and in LettersPatent No. 77,254, granted April 28," 1868, a transparent cone withalia-nge, upon which the glass chimney rests, is shown. My presentinvention consists in the combination of a movable conc, surrounding thedraught-plate, with a perforated air-distributer extending from saiddraught plate to a movable ring, or holder, that supports both the coneand vthe chimney, and \vhicli rests'npon the edges of the draught-plate,or nearly so, and at the lower end the chimney k to rest upon.

I prefer to make this cone limit myself in this particular. y

The glass chimney remains cool at its lower end, because the cone lt isnot highly heated, the contact thereof with the draught-plate e beingbroken;-

The air-distributer f being enclosed by the cone h; the flame isrendered steady.

It will be seen that either the chimney can be lifted, or the ring 4,air-distributer f, and parts' connected with themfcan be raised forlighting or trimming the and in contact therewith,
